Week 9 Assessment

Week 9 Accomplishments:

Well, after making some flight code, there were some aspects I just couldn’t get right. I suggested that we purchase a Flying Starter Kit, and we did so last Tuesday. I’ve been modifying it, but am still struggling a bit. Collision detections works, and I’m halfway through developing the bombs.

For the bomb trailing, I had originally just intended to make objects that just use semi-simple math to follow the player. After going through this code though, I’m not entirely sure how to make objects do that. Instead, I’ll be making the bombs as AI spawns that follow you around. It will have the exact same effect, but is just different on the back end.

Meetings:

Last Tuesday, pretty much all day. We discussed progress, bought the Flying Starter Pack, and further developed some details pertaining to the game.

Week 10 Goals:

I’m going to try to complete the bombs and bomb trailing, as well as detect when a full loop has been made. I think any more than that in relation to gameplay would be unfeasible. Menu-wise, I intend to finish all the coding of the menu screens.
